In the studio


Nick reviews the dialogue for "Go Fish".

The very talented Alyson Court (Beatrice) and Helen King (Molly) did a fantastic job giving voice to Angora Napkin!

Angora Speaks!

We're going into the studio this week to record the actors for the Angora Napkin pilot! We have some amazing talent for this show, it's going to be a riot!

I've recently graduated from my trusty Intuos 2 with the 4X3 workspace to a 20WS Cintiq for the project. I never believed I'd be able to draw comfortably on a computer but WOW! Night and day - especially drawing in Flash. The shot above was one of the first I cleaned up in Flash, with very little messing around with nodes and smoothing. I'm a happy cat.
